## About the Role

Strong software of firmware engineering experience

Experience in Digital Signal Processing (DSP), including algorithm development and optimization
OR

Strong FPGA/Firmware skills with exposure to DSP

Desirable Requirements

Practical knowledge of software-defined radio (SDR) technologies, techniques and use-cases.

Background in R&D for developing innovative solutions and cutting-edge algorithms.

Knowledge of signal modulation/demodulation techniques and digital communication protocols.

## Description

You will work with a team of highly-skilled radio application engineers, designing and implementing waveforms and algorithms for the next-generation space based ISR capability. We design and deliver high-performance radio and data processing systems, generating the most interesting and complex radio challenges. Whether it's the most sensitive radio receivers, designing for very low SWaP environments, designing and productionising innovative DSP algorithms, or providing data analysis to our customers we pride ourselves on our ability to deliver. Depending on your experience level, you might use your skills and experience to lead teams of engineers to design, implement, set to work and deliver radio application designs. Or, as an early-years professional, you might develop your DSP skills as part of a dynamic and skilled engineering team, working towards taking on ever-greater project responsibility.

You will work on a wide variety of state-of-the-art radio application designs on our world-class SDR platforms, from concept and modelling in environments such as MATLAB before implementation in VHDL and C/C++.
